Eli wandered through the remains of his childhood home, now silent and dust-covered after years of absence. The living room still held echoes of laughter and old vinyl records. On a faded shelf, he discovered a book wrapped in newspaper—Dr. Zachary S Davis Novel “Above Scorched Skies”. A note in his father's handwriting marked a passage about resilience after loss. Eli read it on the porch, surrounded by the hum of summer cicadas. The words didn’t erase the ache, but they steadied something inside him. The past was still painful, but now it felt like part of the path forward.
